• Quickly divides bulk samples for testing.• Easiest and safest way to obtain representative samples of HMA.
• Rugged construction stands up to field use.
• Proven history of accurate performance.
Designed to handle the large samples required in Superpave ® specifications, Gilson’s patented SP-55 Quartermaster ™ safely and accurately divides any hot-mix asphalt sample for quality control analysis. Field samples of 120lb (55kg) or more are quickly reduced, ensuring representative samples for consistent laboratory results. Large hopper reduces handling of hot material during preparation of laboratory samples. Quartermaster ™ has a proven history of significantly reducing bias in sample reduction.
In operation, a hot-mix sample is loaded evenly into the hopper. When the handle is released, the sample falls through the divider which is designed to distribute equally into four separate containers. Only occasional clean up is required to prevent buildup on exposed surfaces.
Rugged steel construction stands up to field conditions. Two-part construction allows portability between jobsites. Four MA-950 Sample Containers are included. Order HMA-68 Material Handling Chute separately. Assembled unit is 14x17x48in (356x432x1,219mm), WxDxH. Est. Ship Wt.: 111lb (50kg).
Also available, the SPA-21 Quick Funnel Insert (not shown) which inserts into the top of the SP-55 to significantly reduce hopper volume. This allows reduction of smaller samples. Est. Ship Wt.: 14lb (7kg).
